From the reviews of the 1st edition:
"This book provides a comprehensive and detailed account of
different topics in algorithmic 3-dimensional topology, culminating
with the recognition procedure for Haken manifolds and including
the up-to-date results in computer enumeration of 3-manifolds.
Originating from lecture notes of various courses given by the
author over a decade, the book is intended to combine the
pedagogical approach of a graduate textbook (without exercises)
with the completeness and reliability of a research
monograph...
All the material, with few exceptions, is presented from the
peculiar point of view of special polyhedra and special spines of
3-manifolds. This choice contributes to keep the level of the
exposition really elementary.
In conclusion, the reviewer subscribes to the quotation from the
back cover: "the book fills a gap in the existing literature and
will become a standard reference for algorithmic 3-dimensional
topology both for graduate students and researchers."
Zentralblatt fur Mathematik 2004
For this 2nd edition, new results, new proofs, and commentaries
for a better orientation of the reader have been added. In
particular, in Chapter 7 several new sections concerning
applications of the computer program "3-Manifold Recognizer" have
been included. "
